Smart thermostat users, earn up to $150

Bring your own thermostat (BYOT) and get paid.

The BYOT program helps SRP reduce peak demand and aids in maintaining grid reliability through conservation events. During a conservation event, your smart thermostat(s) will automatically turn the temperature up a few degrees when the strain on our electric grid is at its highest. This typically occurs on hot summer afternoons but may be due to other circumstances as well.

For participating, you'll receive a $75 SRP bill credit per thermostat (up to $150 if you have more than one eligible thermostat). After each subsequent year, you'll earn an additional $25 bill credit (per eligible thermostat) for continuing in the program, which will be paid at the end of the summer cooling season.

What you can expect

Prior to a conservation event, you will be notified of the event's timing and duration. Enable push notifications, if available, in your thermostat's app settings, so you don't miss out on communications.

A symbol or message may appear on your thermostat during an event.

Depending on conditions, SRP may precool your home prior to a conservation event to help balance comfort and energy. Additional energy consumed during precooling will be offset by energy not consumed during the conservation event.

Remember:

You're in control and can opt out of a conservation event and change the temperature anytime.

Thermostat settings during an event may seem extreme and may adjust frequently. These settings are designed to maximize the precooling or conservation impacts but rarely indicate the actual temperature your home will reach.

There could be a maximum of 15 conservation events each summer. Conservation events typically occur between noon and 9 p.m. on weekdays only (holidays excluded).

Eligibility

You must be an SRP residential customer.

Your cooling system and connected thermostat must be at the location of your SRP residential account.
